As a direct result of the “free love” era, 1970 was the peak year for adoption in the United States. Filmmaker Hedia Maron delves into her hippie mother's enigmatic past, unearthing a hidden family legacy.

At 19 years old, Linda Goldfine left her family's home one morning, went to her job at Filene’s Basement in downtown Boston, and then disappeared for the next three years. Forty years later, her daughter Hedia pushes her to reveal what happened during those lost years spent living on California communes. Linda reveals a complex family history set against the backdrop of a time when notions of “free love” collided with virtually no reproductive rights for women.

Join us afterward for a Q&A moderated by Atom Egoyan, with director Hedia Maron and composer Joseph Shabason. The conversation will explore how we first learn about narrative structure, drama and comedy from our families, making them the perfect vehicle for film.
